I'm a medicine student in Brazil in the last year of graduation, only 23 years old, and I would like to share some of the common things you live in med school, this is the first article only, but I'll try to shatter some myths about med. Here in Brazil you're not getting rich being a doctor, with the best possibility you will live very well, but never earn millions of dollars, the work routine is very very stressfull with many patients and 24h/48h of continuous work is rule. Your grades will be good, some times bad and most of the time regular despite all your efforts and study, the excelent grades are for a few students or none; dont think you'll take them regularly.
